bibliometría, desarrollo sostenible, empresas, responsabilidad social, sostenibilidadResumen
Responsabilidad Social Empresarial (RSE) y la Economía Circular (EC) se han consolidado como enfoques clave para la sostenibilidad organizacional; sin embargo, la literatura aún presenta fragmentación sobre su interrelación. Objetivo: Analizar la producción científica que vincula RSE y EC, identificando tendencias, actores y vacíos mediante un análisis bibliométrico. Metodología: Se aplicó un enfoque cuantitativo a 221 artículos indexados en Web of Science, utilizando las herramientas VOSviewer y Bibliometrix para mapear redes de coautoría, co-citación y palabras clave. Resultados: Se evidencia un aumento sostenido de publicaciones desde 2017, con liderazgo de Italia, China y España. Journal of Cleaner Production y Sustainability concentran la mayor productividad. Los temas dominantes son gestión ambiental, innovación y modelos circulares. Discusión: La literatura refleja un avance hacia la convergencia RSE–EC, aunque persisten vacíos conceptuales, metodológicos y geográficos. Se identifican barreras organizacionales y la necesidad de integrar indicadores financieros y no financieros. Conclusiones: Es fundamental impulsar estudios comparativos y empíricos, especialmente en América Latina, que incorporen métricas comunes y enfoques interdisciplinarios para fortalecer la transición hacia modelos empresariales sostenibles.
